It was released after death, sort of as a memorial. The album has a song Shannon left on one of the guys answering machines at 3am once as well that he saved.
@blindmelonism hehe, yeah this album was released after shannons death, entitled Nico after his daughter and a chunck of the profits when into a collage fund for her...nnice :)
@SuperDevolution because real albums may take a life time to perfect. so much heart and soul dont just come out. a shitty album can be done in a few days. where as a good album takes years
Despite the retard comments, this is the definitive Hoon lamentation for hopelessness. He was pulled down. A coke fiend.
Soup was wrongly dismissed and forgotten. But this song remains. I don't presume to know him or the group, but to me, this stands out as their peak. Posthumously released as a b-side but still relevant. Throw-away or not. I love it and always will.
@TaylorKinsley Fiend can be both. he 'Fiended' for the coke. And he was a coke fiend. it can be used either way. Dont argue about whether the word is a verb or noun... and enjoy the fucking song. Sad person
@TaylorKinsley Well no, but since I'm the person who mentioned the word fiend, and you're the one who tried contradicting me. I just retaliated. Can't win an argument over the internet, leave.
This song speaks to me more than anyone could ever know. Shannon, the world is a deeply saddened place without you here. I can only imagine what beauty you would bring us today. See you someday down that long road man. You will never be forgotten and your strong words speak to me everyday. Have a peaceful rest or party hard wherever you are man.<3
Yes a great song indeed Blind Melon Rocks pull you down now indeed he will be around when you or you or you feel the need to feel hee hee hee I know its gonna pull me down !
Bye Shannon, thanks

Why is it that the best bands only get to put out a few albums and the world's shittiest bands put out countless albums?
Life is so unfair.

@Lukith66 ... fiend isn't a verb.

@TaylorKinsley yes it is.

@now72286 No, it isn't. It's a noun which means bad person, or somebody who is addicted to something, e.g. a drug fiend. It isn't a verb.

Nico was a great album. I don't know why they wouldn't release any of these songs.

I think it was just that they hadn't finished them, or never bothered to finish and release them before shannon passed
